Hello, my name is

Shouvik Banerjee

I am an author and ghostwriter with over eight years of writing experience

About me

Although I have a Masterโ€™s degree in Genetics, my true passion is writing. So, in 2015, I quit my PhD in molecular genetics to become a freelance writer. Instead of dissecting mice I was now dissecting words and I could not have been happier. What started out as blogs and academic papers soon culminated into short fiction and books. In 2019, I published my first book under my name and by 2020 I was a full-time ghostwriter.

But why do I write for someone else?

Some of my clients have lived incredible lives and writing for them gives me an opportunity to step into their shoes. Their world is mine and I can now proudly say that I have lived a hundred lives.

Now, I only concentrate on memoirs and autobiographies.

My Ghostwriting Process

My ghostwriting process is simple. I will do everything from understanding your requirements and designing a blueprint to delivering the final product and even helping you publish the book if possible. Every book requires a different level of care and I believe in delivering a high quality and polished product which you can proudly show off.

But why me? What is so special about my skills?

Honestly, there are a lot of ghostwriters out there who are perhaps more experienced and skilled than I am. But that also means they charge top tier rates (no less than $100,000 USD) for every book.

Right now, I am in the learning phase (arenโ€™t we all!) and love building relationships with my clients. I am the perfect fit for authors who want a good experienced writer for a comparatively lower budget.

  • Discovery Call

    We will schedule a call and talk about your your expectations from the project.

  • Roadmap & Sample Chapter

    In the next few meetings we will sit down and create a roadmap for your book. I will also write a sample chapter for you.

  • Interviews & Research

    This is where you talk about your book. I will conduct the necessary research as required.

  • Writing

    Your book will start to take shape. At this stage, we will fix voice, plot holes, and flow.

  • Final Editing

    I will edit the manuscript to fix grammar and other minor issues. This is when we finalize the book.

Ghostwriting Portfolio

I have worked on different fiction and non-fiction projects ranging from fictionalized autobiography to memoirs. Due to privacy and non-disclosure issues, it is often challenging to provide samples. However, some of my clients have been kind enough to let me share a few sample chapters.

Seven Sundays

The joy of writing a book under your name is unparalleled. When Seven Sundays first came out in 2019, it received positive response from its readers and is still well-received amongst new readers.

Traditionally published by Hay House.

Ghostwriting Fees

I charge between $5,000 โ€“ $10,000 USD depending on the complexity of the project and cover everything from creating a roadmap to writing the book. I donโ€™t care if it needs 100 edits or 1 edit. I will work on it till you and me are satisfied with the book.

But the fees should not matter much if you feel I am the right ghostwriter for your book. Also, the amount you spend should be seen as an investment. In most cases, authors make 10X their investment from speaking gigs, book sales, coaching, etc.

Other Services

If you are not looking for a full-fledged ghostwriter but still need some support, then I do offer a book coaching service.

As your book coach I will help you structure the book, fix plot holes, improve flow and readability, and beta read the manuscript. The entire process can take anywhere between 4-8 weeks depending on how much support you need.

I charge a flat fee of $1,000 USD for this service.

Speaking Gigs

I have conducted multiple writer’s workshops with over 700 students in association with Oxford Books.

Writings

When my written pieces find a place in lit mags, I share them with readers and even do a little dance! You can find them here (the writings; not the dance).

But at times when they donโ€™t find a place anywhere I put them here. These are short stories, poems, blog posts, or simply random musings.
